Scribble Booth Rental Across Canada

What is a scribble booth?
A scribble booth is a video booth built around a clear glass panel. A guest stands on one side and writes, draws or signs on the glass with a bright marker. A camera on the other side records through the glass, so their handwriting appears right on top of them in the finished video. The clip is branded automatically with your intro, outro and overlay, then sent to their phone by email in seconds.
You may also hear it called a glass booth, a message booth or a signature video booth. It fits anywhere you want people to say something in their own words: product launches, galas, conference stages, trade show floors, sponsorship activations and internal events.
WHY CHOOSE A SCRIBBLE BOOTH
The prompt does the marketing
Guests write, sign, and draw directly on their own video, so every clip is one of a kind and unmistakably theirs. It's an experience they take part in, not a booth they stand in front of.
Content that people actually post
Polished, shareable videos built for Instagram, TikTok, and Reels, with your prompt and branding front and center as guests post to their own networks.
Your message, in their handwriting
Ask one question and every guest answers it on camera. “Finish this sentence.” “Sign the wall.” “What does our brand mean to you?” The answers are real, unscripted and on brand.
HOW IT WORKS
1
Read the prompt
Your question or sentence starter is on screen. The guest picks up a marker.
2
The branded video lands in their inbox. They post it. You get the content and the contact.
3
Write on the glass
They write, draw or sign while the camera records through the panel. Clips run anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds, set to suit your prompt.

prompts
We build the on-screen question around your campaign: a question, a call to action, or a fill-in-the-blank. Prompts can change through the event. You set the conversation and guests carry it.

Branded email delivery captures a contact with every share. Consent fields, a live gallery and a post-event report with clip count, shares and contacts are included.
Motion graphics made in house
Our in-house motion graphics team designs your intro card, outro card and video overlay, so the booth looks built for your brand. You approve the mockups before the event.
Marker colours and on-site support
Marker colours chosen to show clearly on video. An on-site attendant, a live gallery and instant social sharing come with every booking.

Frequently asked questions
-
A Scribble Booth is an interactive video activation where guests answer an on-screen prompt and write or draw their response directly on their own video. The result is a branded, shareable clip, built for campaigns designed around a question or message rather than a stand-and-smile photo.
-
Guests step in, read your on-screen prompt, and record a short video. They write or draw their answer right on the screen, whether a message, a signature, or a doodle. At the sharing station they receive the finished clip by text or email, ready to post.

It works best for campaigns built around a question or call to action: product launches, conferences, film and game launches, and brand activations, fundraisers where you want guests to respond in their own words. Any event where the goal is to spread a message, not just capture a photo.
